Which form must be submitted along with the MMC application?

When applying for a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC), it is essential to submit specific forms that provide relevant personal and professional information. The Coast Guard Form CG-719B is specifically designed for this purpose; it functions as the application for a Merchant Mariner Credential, capturing vital details about the mariner's qualifications, experience, and fitness for duty.

The form collects information pertinent to the applicant’s background, including their training, sea service, and any endorsements they may seek. This thorough documentation is crucial for the U.S. Coast Guard to assess the mariner's eligibility and ensure that they meet the necessary standards for safety and competency at sea. Submitting this form along with the MMC application helps streamline the review process and supports the Coast Guard's mission of maritime safety and security.
